We Buy Houses in Levittown, PA

Which township is my Levittown house in?

Check your tax bill. Levittown isn't a town on paper. William Levitt finished building it in 1958, and today it spans parts of Bristol Township, Middletown Township, Falls Township and Tullytown borough. The one on your tax bill sets your rules before a sale, not the name on your mail.

Locals go by section, and the streets in a section usually start with the same letter as its name. A few examples, by the township their streets are in:

• Bristol Township: Appletree Hill, Indian Creek, Junewood and Red Cedar Hill.
• Middletown: Snowball Gate, Twin Oaks, Forsythia Gate and Red Rose Gate.
• Falls: Thornridge, Elderberry Pond, Vermillion Hills and Willowood.
• Tullytown: parts of Kenwood, Lakeside, Pinewood and Stonybrook, the names on the borough's own leaf pickup schedule.

Some sections cross a township line, so check your tax bill. We buy in all four.

What does my township require before I sell?

Each township runs its own resale check, with its own fees and forms. Here's which one applies to your house, and who to call.

Two timing tips. In Bristol Township, a sewer certificate issued in the two years before your sale counts. In Falls, a passing sewer inspection is good for 6 months.

My Levittown house won't pass. Can I still sell it?

Yes. Did your house fail the township inspection? That's OK. Under a Pennsylvania law (Act 133 of 2016), a town that requires a U&O has to give a temporary certificate when its inspection finds problems, so the sale still closes and we get 12 months to make the repairs. You don't fix a thing. If nobody should live there until the problems are fixed, the temporary certificate just lets the new owner in to fix them first.

The sewer line has its own rules on two sides of Levittown:

• Falls: if the lateral has to be replaced, the sale can still go through first, on a Temporary Certificate of Access. Nobody moves in until it's fixed.
• Bristol Township: repairs are the owner's job before the sale. If they can't be done in time, the township may, at its own choice, issue a temporary sewer certificate naming who will fix it, you or whoever buys, with up to 180 days. It won't if the problem makes the house unfit to live in.

If your sewer line is old, tell us early, and we'll plan the timing with you. Here's more on selling a house as-is.

What usually comes up in a Levittown house?

Most Levittown houses are around 70 years old now, and Bristol Township calls its own housing historic, with aging infrastructure. The checklists keep landing on chimneys, heaters, sewer laterals, sump pumps and open permits from decades of add-ons. We buy Levittown houses with every one of these problems.

Will you buy my Levittown rental with the tenants in it?

Yes. At Vivid Properties, we buy Levittown rentals with the tenants in place, and we take over the leases. Section 8 tenants and tenants who are behind on rent are fine. One house, a few, or your whole portfolio, up to apartment buildings with 5 or more units.

Each township has its own landlord rules:

• Bristol Township: $100 a year for each rental house, or $60 for apartments. An apartment building's U&O is $150 plus $5 a unit (up to 10,000 square feet).
• Middletown: every rental unit is inspected every two years and at each tenant change. Room renting and short-term rentals need a zoning variance.
• Falls: $50 a year for each rental house, or $15 a unit at an apartment complex, plus inspections every three years and at each new tenant.
• Tullytown: a Tenant Registration Report before the borough issues a U&O.

Once you sell to us, those renewals and inspections are ours. Here's how we buy rental properties, and our guide to selling a house with tenants covers notices and showings.

Where do Levittown estates go through probate?

You may not need to leave Levittown. The Bucks County, PA Register of Wills has a satellite office at 7321 New Falls Road (267-580-3585), open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Appointments get priority. The main office is in Doylestown. The executor or administrator gets appointed there before the estate can sell.

One Bristol Township detail: a house passing to the heirs when the owner dies doesn't need the sewer check, but selling it does. We buy inherited houses as they are, furniture and all. See our guide to selling an inherited house in Pennsylvania and selling your parents' house.

Behind on the mortgage or the taxes?

Call us as early as you can. Bucks sheriff sales are held in person in Doylestown, on the second Friday of each month at 11 a.m. The next ones are November 13 and December 11, 2026, then January 8 and February 12, 2027. Back taxes go to a separate online tax sale, and this year's December sales are on December 8, 2026. Our sheriff sale guide covers every option, and our guide to selling with liens or back taxes explains what gets paid off at closing.

Is selling to us the right move for your Levittown house?

If listing your house would put more money in your pocket, we'll tell you. No pressure either way. We make the most sense when the township checklist looks like a headache, the house is inherited and still full, or you need to be done by a certain date.

Because we take on the repairs and the cost of selling again, our price is lower than a fixed-up Levittown house would list for. We pay all the closing costs. Anything you still owe, like a mortgage, is paid off from the sale at closing, and your written offer shows what you'll walk away with. See how we calculate our offer, or compare a cash sale with listing.
